After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards outlasted the Cavaliers 115-107. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
